Please could you check out this thread. We're putting in a bid for a new acronym and for the green highlighting of opening poster's subsequent posts on that thread, IYSWIM.

What's happened to ones own posts on any thread being highlighted in pink? Mine seem to have gone back to white...

Blinko Mon 30-Apr-18 08:45:46

Oh, its gone pink again. Good.

It seems only v recently that all this was discussed before. People who can’t be bothered to read the full thread make things worse by repeating what’s already been said, leading to still more repetition. If no time to read the full thread, why not just let it go?

Help! WTF is RTFT? It's all just too hard. I much prefer to type the word. When I've tried the acronyms the autospeller thingy takes over and it's not pretty by that stage. ?

RTFT is either Read the full text or Read the f*** text, depending on degree of exasperation.

"This is what people tend to use on MN
'haven’t RTFT but...’"

Or else - 'CBA to RTFT...' smile

Don't worry, Apricity, acronyms aren't compulsory. Using words is still okay.

I have no intention of using acronyms

FarNorth, thanyk you. Phew!

Apricity Tue 01-May-18 10:57:02
